Humans tend to try to figure out what we don’t understand –sometimes we’re successful solving mysteries, sometimes we aren’t. Unsolved mysteries, such as Atlantis, Area 51, Easter Island, and the Bermuda Triangle, don’t have clear and obvious answers. These mysteries baffle the minds of our most brilliant scientists and scholars. Who built Stonehenge and why they build it is the mystery. One man thought that it was Roman invaders who built it; another said it was the British Celts who built Stonehenge. Some say it was aliens and the ancient people thought that Merlin conjured the entire monument out of thin air. Though most people attribute the building of Stonehenge to the Druids, the Druids were a Polytheistic people who made their yearly calendar on the solar, lunar, and vegetative cycles. In recent studies scientists have discovered a village inside Stonehenge that they think housed the builders of Stonehenge. In the village there were at least twenty-five huts. They think the little village was built about the same time as the pyramids. One scientist found the outline of beds and dressers. The village was thought to have over 250 cremated people inside. The village must have had at least 30 villagers. I think that Stonehenge was an altar for worship because the villagers might have been worshiping gods and begging for a good harvest. I agree that the Druids built it for worshiping their gods and goddesses or for holding festivals of the summer and winter solstices. I have now explained all I know about Stonehenge and after reading this I hope you will be interested in finding out more about the great mystery of Stonehenge.
